Aberdeen is a historic plantation house several miles north of Disputanta in Prince George County, Virginia, built between 1790 and 1810 by Thomas Cocke on part of the family estate called Bonnaccord that he inherited in 1790. The brick temple-form house has a pedimented main facade finished with horizontal flush sheathing, walls laid in Flemish bond with flat arches over the openings, and a small Doric-columned portico, and it retains Federal-period interior woodwork. Cocke was a friend and neighbor of agricultural reformer Edmund Ruffin, and observations made at Aberdeen fed into writings by Ruffin on restoring worn-out soils with marl. The 378-acre property was added to the Virginia Landmarks Register in 2001 and to the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 2002.
